Chapter 487: Reward the Three Armies
In early September, under the greeting of the general Huangfu Song, the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials successfully settled in Chang'an.
The next day, a court meeting was held in the main hall of Weiyang Palace.
There are two things to discuss: first, to reward meritorious deeds.
Lu Bu, who had the greatest merit, was named the right general, given a gold seal and purple ribbon, and was responsible for guarding the Beijing Division. Weiwei Yang Biao was promoted to Tai Lieutenant, Wang Yun was promoted to Situ, Huang Wan was moved to Sikong, and the rest of the meritorious people were also rewarded.
Second, to recruit Dong Zhuo.
The ministers and officials all hated and poisoned this devil, and counted more than a dozen of Dong Zhuo's major crimes in the court. Each of them is a capital offense of beheading. In the past, when Dong Zhuo was powerful in Luoyang and monopolized power, they trembled and trembled, and everything had to be done according to Dong Zhuo's eyes.
Now that he is out of the clutches of the devil, it is natural that everyone is shouting and fighting.
The meaning of the hundred officials is to let Lu Bu lead the troops to recruit Dong Zhuo, so that the two of them will eat dogs, and it is best to lose both.
Of course Lu Bu refused, Dong Zhuo repelled the Kwantung princes and held the Tiger Prison Pass, with Luoyang as the foundation. From the perspective of strategic topography, it can be regarded as indirectly erecting a strong barrier to the land of Guanzhong.
What's more, Dong Zhuo still has nearly 100,000 soldiers in his hands, and there are many strong generals under him. If you rashly lead troops to fight Dong Zhuo to the death, you will just fight with the snipe and the clam and these fishermen who watch the show will benefit.
Lu Bu didn't say anything about this, but said lightly: "If General Ben leads his troops to the east, and the Western Liangqiang people take the opportunity to attack, may I ask everyone here, who can stop it?" ”
The Qiang rebels occupied most of Xiliang, but the Han Dynasty had not been able to recover it for several years.
Moreover, when Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang that year, he almost emptied the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong, and there was no extra troops at all to deal with the Qiang people.
If the Qiang people took advantage of Lu Bu's departure and launched a surprise attack, it was very likely that they would capture Chang'an in a short time.
"Is it just watching Dong Thief get away with it?" Someone asked loudly unwillingly.
Lu Bu glanced at this person, there was no impression in his mind, and replied indifferently: "The top priority is not to crusade against Dong Zhuo, but to stabilize the rear first. When Guanzhong is stable, he will bring people to recruit Dong Zhuo. ”
As for what this courtier said, he didn't want to see Dong Zhuo get away with it. This general can borrow you 3,000 soldiers and horses, and you will be the commander to conquer Dong Zhuo, I don't know what your Excellency wants? ”
"You, you, you......"
The courtier, who was wearing a civilian uniform, trembled with anger at Lu Bu's words, but he didn't expect a reckless man to be so clever.
"If you still think it's wrong, you can recruit the governors and county guards from all over the world to discuss Dong Zhuo. There are countless heroes in the world, and those who are good at fighting are not Lu alone. ”
In the main hall, Lu Bu's voice was loud.
When the court meeting dispersed, a small eunuch stopped Lu Bu, who was about to leave the palace, saying that he had been ordered by the Son of Heaven to go to the Chengming Hall to meet the saint.
What does the Son of Heaven call me to do?
Lu Bu was puzzled, but he also followed.
When he arrived at the Chengming Palace, after the Son of Heaven retreated left and right, he went straight to Lu Bu. It turned out that the Son of Heaven missed his brother Liu Wei, and hoped that Lu Bu could let him return to the palace and accompany him.
The Son of Heaven didn't mention it, and Lu Bu almost forgot about it.
After all, in the recent period, Lu Bu has been tense all the time, and all he thinks about is the general trend of the world.
He nodded in response, reassuring the Son of Heaven, saying that after he left the palace, he would let Liu Wei take him back to Chang'an.
Out of the palace, Lu Bu returned to the mansion and ordered someone to call Chen Wei back.
Towards evening, Lu Bu took his daughter to the military camp outside the city.
This time he was able to rescue the Son of Heaven, in addition to careful planning, the soldiers of the three armies also contributed a lot.
He, who is a general, naturally wants to reward him personally.
The little bell rode on Lu Bu's neck, clamoring to play together, but Lu Bu couldn't resist her, so he had to take it with him.
Lu Bu wanted to come to reward the three armies, and Gao Shun and the others had received the news in advance, so they had been strictly dressing their military uniforms and waiting for Lu Bu in the barracks.
When they saw the tall and handsome figure appearing in their eyes, the officers and soldiers of the three armies all stood up straight, looked at Lu Bu, and shouted in unison from the bottom of their hearts: "I'll wait, see the general!" ”
Wow~~
The neat salute movement drove the scales on the armor to rattle into a piece.
Lu Bu's gaze swept from left to right, sweeping over the faces of Gao Shun, Song Xian, Cao Xing, Huang Zhong and others, as well as the countless soldiers of the three armies.
In this situation, Lu Bu was full of pride in his chest.
"Sons, it is my honor for you to follow me. Today, there is no military rank or position, only the robe brothers, all of them let me drink, open drink, drink him without getting drunk! ”
"No drunk, no home! No drunk, no return! ”
Lu Bu's straightforward speech drew cheers from the soldiers.
Subsequently, Lu Bu ordered to cook pigs and slaughter sheep, and drank happily with the soldiers.
Cao Xing, Hao Meng and others took turns to toast Lu Bu, but fortunately, during that time in Luoyang, Lu Bu went to the banquet a lot, and he could be regarded as practicing the amount of wine, and drinking him twenty or thirty bowls was not a problem.
The general of the Huns, Di Yuqi, came to Lu Bu with a wine bowl, held the wine bowl in awe with both hands, and said respectfully: "Lord Wenhou, I will respect you." ”
Ethnic groups other than the Han Chinese are accustomed to using the word 'adult' to show respect for others.
Lu Bu glanced at Di Yu Qi, the wine bowl touched him slightly, which was enough to give face, and said in an indifferent voice: "Go back and tell Yu Fuluo that Lu Mou has written down his friendship this time." ”
Di Yuqi got a reply, and after Lu Bu took a sip, he drank all the wine in the bowl, and said respectfully: "After the humble general goes back, he will definitely face the words of the adult." ”
After speaking, Di Yu retreated from Lu Bu's side with interest.
The banquet was high and tidal, and even Gao Shun, who never drank alcohol on weekdays, was poured several bowls, and the soldiers gathered around the bonfire, laughing, singing and dancing.
They are all people who pin their heads to the waistbands of their trousers, licking blood with knives, and no one knows how long the road ahead will be.
Therefore, life must be full of joy, regardless of his current dynasty, who is the Son of Heaven and who is the minister.
Looking at Lu Bu and the others who were drinking high and their faces were flushed and shouting loudly, there was a smile on his face, and he recalled: "When I first met the general, he was just a small military marquis, and there were only a handful of people around him. I watched him grow step by step, climb up step by step, and I don't know when the people around him have gathered more and more. ”
Gao Shun, Wei Musheng, Huang Zhong, Ma Zhong, Cao Xing, Song Xian, Hou Cheng, Hao Meng, Guan Hai, Pan Feng, Hua Xiong...... I can't count them with my fingers, even if it is a small generation, there are Zhang Liao, Ma Chao, Pang De, Yan Rou, and the brothers of the family.
It's just that I don't know how many springs and autumns can there be in such a time?
A hint of loneliness flashed in Xi Ce's eyes.
"Tut-tut, Xi Zhicai, look at what you say, how sour and not slippery, like a resentful woman in the boudoir." Guo Jia slammed his mouth, and the white fox had a smile on his face, not noticing the subtle changes in his expression at all.
"Come on, come on, drink and drink!"
Put away the low mood of the drama to raise the wine bowl and drink it all.
That night, he and Guo Jia were also very drunk.
